MI captain Hardik Pandya has arrived in Raipur with his Mumbai Indians squad as they prepare for their upcoming Indian Premier League fixture against RCB on Sunday. Pandya was unavailable for the franchise\u2019s previous match versus LSG after suffering a back spasm on Monday, and the team had managed the issue by advising him to rest for that game. After being cleared to travel, he checked into Raipur on Thursday, with Mumbai Indians sharing a post on X that included a photo of the skipper.<\/p>\n

Hardik Pandya\u2019s IPL availability update<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Hardik Pandya missed MI\u2019s most recent IPL match against LSG due to a back spasm that surfaced on Monday.<\/li>\n
  2. The discomfort is understood to be minor, and he was advised to take rest for the LSG game.<\/li>\n
  3. On Thursday, MI posted that Pandya had checked in at Raipur, along with a photograph from his arrival.<\/li>\n
  4. A full training session is scheduled at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium.<\/li>\n
  5. Pandya is expected to work primarily in the nets on Friday as part of his preparation for RCB.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As the contest against RCB approaches, Mumbai Indians find themselves under pressure in the race for the playoffs. With seven defeats and three wins from their campaign so far, MI are currently positioned ninth on the points table. To keep their slim qualification chances alive, they will need to win each of their remaining matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
